Had a couple of goes now and I'm liking it. The first one was a mess because she just didn't see her memory on one of the cards! I'll have to tell them to look carefully!

The second was excellent. I spun in a bit about NLP and looking in certain directions depending on the memory and even when I got down to "enjoying eating something alone, must be sweets or ice cream, I think it's ice cream" - she completely ignored the fact there was no "eating sweets" on the card and put it down to the "fact" that I know she loves ice cream (I didn't!). Anyway, completely flummoxed.

I'll give it a 9/10. Definitely in my repetoire!

Still waiting.....

I gotta agree lol

I performed this for a friend less than an hour ago and I can still picture the look on his face when I told him what he was thinking of..........priceless

Och aye this is immense! I loves it more than I loves liquor...and I loves liquor I does!

The simplicity is genius...I was ready and able to perform this effect within an hour of reading the instructions.

I'm having trouble justifying why they have to look for their memory on all of the cards. My friend worked it out on my first try I don't see how, but then I guess he is a bit of a nerd...

I just explain that the memories are randomly spread out over the cards and just waffle on the need to re-enforce the memory transfer etc etc.

Another thing that I've picked up on is that when there is only 1 more card left for the spec to look at, you can whittle the spec's chosen memory down to a choice of 2. If you know the spec quite well, you can sometimes deduce which one it's going to be and you can tell them a lil' more about their memory before they even look at the last card. Sometimes this goes wrong (not very often though), but even when it does you can still turn it around with a bit of patter and how you were picking up on another memory that they wasn't conciously thinking about.

Ah yes I like that. I was thinking it would be interesting if the memories were grouped so that they have lots of similarities, for example memories that they are likly to have had as children and memories from later in their life. So you could say "you were only a child" or something after only the first or second selection.

That's exactly what you should do. I have no idea how you're friend guessed it. Did he actually get it perfectly right how it was done? Clever chap. I'd definately keep saying them that you need to reinforce the memory. Did you two find the order of instructions a bit weird at first? I think the first thing you read in the instructions is a big long script of patter. I think it is really good and i must use it sometime, just i was confused when i first got it

People who use/understand binary numbers will work it out relatively easily, but most don't.

And as the old joke goes, there are 10 types of people in this world, those the get binary and those that don't.

There goes our chance to elicit a deep and mutli-layed emotional response from computer programmers then, eh?

Oi! dagnammit, some of us are occasionally capable of human interaction

I'm tempted to purchase this effect, just because I keep hearing some positive reviews from you guys. However, I am worried that it will be similar in method to Derren Brown's 'Remeniscence' from Pure Effect. If anyone can enlighten me that'd be great...

Might buy it anyway....
